Tips & Advice

What are some questions to ask a daycare as part of the selection process?

In addition to questions about cost, ask any potential daycare provider about licensing or accreditations and qualifications. Other questions to consider:

What is the staff-to-child ratio?

How long have they been in business? (Longevity and stability are highly desirable)

Can you get references?

How safe is the center?

What plans are in place if a child gets sick?

What (if any) is the curriculum?

If transportation is necessary to get a child to or from the facility, what is the vehicle arrangement?

What are the visitation rules?

Are you closed during holidays?

What is your cancellation policy if we leave?

What if my child gets hurt while in your care?

What is a good caregiver-to-child ratio?

Having enough staff may be the most important part of any daycare provider. Having a staff-to-child ratio of 1:3 for infants, 1:6 for toddlers, and 1:9 for preschool-aged children is considered ideal. Generally the rule is, the younger the children the higher the caregiver-to-child ratio. Having more than that can be fine, but less than that is not.

How much does daycare cost?

The typical cost of full-time daycare is around $1,000 a month. That’s the average – you can spend more or less depending on your location, the type of daycare your child is attending, and if it is full or part-time. Also be sure to ask if it’s a year-round daycare. If it’s not, or they are closed for certain holidays, you will need to arrange for additional childcare coverage.

What steps do daycares take to keep children safe?

Daycare safety should start with:

Adequate supervision of the children – having an appropriate staff-to-child ratio (1:3 for infants, 1:6 for toddlers, and 1:9 for preschool-aged children).

A regular training plan in place for health and safety issues, including pediatric CPR and having first-aid certified staff present at all times, and that procedures are in place for handling medications and dosages carefully and accurately.

Making sure all poisons, drugs, and medications, as well as all toxic substances are safely removed from children’s reach.

Ensuring all toys and playground products are safe (and regularly cleaned) and age-appropriate.

Daycares should maintain a clean and sanitary environment to prevent the spread of germs and illnesses, including confirming with parents that kids are properly immunized, and having parents keep sick kids at home to prevent spreading illnesses. Many daycares also have stringent sign-in and sign-out procedures to make sure they know who is picking up (and dropping off) your child.

What is the difference between a licensed vs. an accredited daycare provider?

Licensed means the daycare program meets the minimum licensing standards that are set forth by the state – and licensing laws vary state-to-state. Accredited means the program meets the standards set forth by national groups like the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC) or the National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Usually the standards set forth by accreditation are higher than state-licensing regulations.

What is a good age for children to start daycare?

A good age to put your child into daycare can depend on several factors, including the length of maternity leave, your partner’s (if applicable) ability to care for the child, other childcare options available, your financial situation, and the child’s ability to handle separation from parents. Some daycares will take a child as young as 6 weeks. Some people prefer to wait until the child is 1.The reality is it depends on your child and your circumstances, and at what point you want to begin the process of developing social skills, etc. If you are considering daycare within the first 1-2 years, start looking seriously during pregnancy, as some can be very difficult to get into and have long waiting lists.

How should parents select a daycare program?

Your child’s foray into daycare can be a critical step in their development, so selecting the right program is vital. Are you looking for group daycare or in-home daycare? Is the program licensed or accredited Do you need part time or full time daycare? (Note that daycare is different from preschool, which can begin as early as age 2.) Group daycare is at a state-licensed facility, similar to a school, with kids of varying ages. Home daycare is run out of the caregiver’s own home and the providers are not necessarily licensed or trained. After you’ve decided which way to go, quality, cost, and -- depending on the family, religious affiliations -- are important considerations. Staff-to-child ratio is also important, especially for very young children. Do your research on the history of the daycare (longevity and low staff turnover are good signs). Start with location, cost, and program availability, and then dive into the quality of the daycare program, the qualifications of the staff, program philosophies (discipline, dealing with illnesses, etc.), personnel-to-child ratio, the facility and surrounding environment (including indoor and outdoor play areas), and security. Another area to consider is how your child will be getting to and from the facility. Commute can be a factor, especially if both parents work. If you think this is a lot to tackle, just remember: You still have the teen years to look forward to.

This place is Great, they are always very nice and welcoming.The room my daughter hangs out in always filled with nice staff members and is clean. Id recommend this place if your looking for safe, affordable childcare, Thanks KC Team.

I love this place both of my children go here both started when they were 6 weeks old. All the teachers treat the kids as if they were there own. My son who is 3 now can say his whole alphabet count to 30 and he know nursery rhymes and bible hymens.

I give it a star to be nice. I honestly have nothing nice to say about this daycare. The directors only think about themselves, they do not care about the children unless they are related to them. All they care about is money, they don't even spend time in any of the rooms or talk to the teachers about students needs or how they are doing. They sit in their little offices and gossip about people all day. They recently had mold in one of the rooms and neglected to tell any of the parents about it. On multiple occasions I have seen hair in the food, indicating that the kitchen staff does not wear the appropriate head attire. The daycare directors just care about social status, typical deer park people. The teachers just run through the paper work without even taking the time to teach them. The kids just run around like crazy without any control. The directors also do not care or listen to the staff when they are voicing opinions. I will never recommend this daycare to anyone. There are so many more options to choose from then this one. Do not bring your child here, you will have so many problems and regret it.

My child got bit in the face today and no one even called me. This is not the first time that the same child has bit my son and he has also bit other children and nothing has been done. They also lie about the daily reports about what my child eats putting "All" on foods he does not eat. They have switched him back and forth to different classes with different teachers and not even told me he would be moved. Also when he first started it took over a month for him to get his own mat for nap time, which I paid for before he ever started going there. I had to request it 3-4 times before he ever got one. I've went in to talk to the office staff and Gail the owner multiple times regarding communication problems. Gail is extremely rude and has said things like "kids are going to get bit" and her response regarding the moves without notifying me first "well he's still in the same building". No apologies, no nothing! I will take my child to the doctor tomorrow and see if this incidence can be reported to state. My patience is gone!

Worst experience so far. They do not check ids for picking up kids, the guy Tim treats the children awful and talks to them like they are stupid. Also my son was on the daycare bus on their way to school when the woman got pulled over and got 2 tickets, the daycare did not notify myself or my husband, my child did later that night. My son has not and will not ever go back!!

I'm a proud father of a student that's been there the past 2 years. She has learned so much being there. She's now in the in the private kindergarten class. The prek and kindergarten teachers are amazing. They have taught her how to be a responsible respectful little lady. She was never in daycare before she started 2 years ago and now she's reading, nothing makes me more proud than listening and watching all she has learned and all she knows. From all 50 states to presidents, spelling test (which she passes every friday) addition, subtraction, counting, colors, days of the week, months of the year...you name it, she knows it and that's pretty good for a 5 year old. Did I mention she also knows all that in English and spanish. Peggy's Childcare is by far the best in Deer Park no doubt. I highly recommend this daycare.

My step-daughter has attended PCI since birth. When I had my son 3 months ago I knew without a doubt where he would attend. My stepdaughter has proven over and over again how wonderful PCI truly is. Ive never seen a child so excited to go to school every single day. PCI gives her so much to look forward to and makes learning an exciting experience for her. By the young age of three, she knew her months of the year, numbers in English and Spanish, days of the week, and MUCH MUCH more. She says please/thank you, yes sir, no ma'am without being told. Her manners and dinner prayers make my heart warm; which are all strict practices at PCI. She was potty trained VERY quickly and VERY young with the wonderful help of ALL the PCI staff. She loves Mrs.Peggy & Mrs. Angelica as if they were family. All children are treated as little human beings with love and responsibility, if you want your child to be held accountable for their faults and praised for their achievements PCI is the place to be.

1st of all would like to go on record by saying how shocked I was when I heard an obvious disgrunted parent was bashing one of the BEST day care facilities in Texas! My children have attended Peggys for 10 years and have learned so much. Not only are they are daycare but they have wonderful ciriculams and are 100 % committed in learning, social skills, manors and overall care for our childrens. I could go on and on. What upsets me the most about this is that one bad apple spoils the bunch. Yes protect your children and do what's best for you and your situation but don't bash people for no reason or because your mad....makes me and probably everyone aware that your upset about more than just a child injury THAT HAPPENS. It's life. Get over the rage and move on. At the end of the day your only hurting yourself because we will stand behind Peggys Childcare and all their teachers. Be a woman and mother that I'm sure you can be. Pray for forgiveness and move on!!!

I couldn't be more grateful for a place like Peggy's where my 2 year old is loved, is challenged & is safe. Leaving my first child at daycare was hard BUT all the staff, Peggy & Angelica made it sooo much easier, even though she was only 4 months old. I love how I see even now her past teachers visit & love on her as we enter/leave daycare each day. :) What a blessing this fun, educational place for our children to grow & thrive is!

A friend had mention for me to read the reviews about Peggy's child care. I have been at Peggy's for years and these reviews seem very invalid. Today as I walked into Peggy's child care my youngest daughter jumped with excited as did other children that were filing in. The whole front lobby was filled with valentines day balloons for each child to take home. Not only were the children in awe but I was also. Every year and holiday PCI has brought wonderful memories for my children. I am grateful for the wonderful and caring staff. I love hearing my child talk about her teachers and friends. Besides my child making PCI her second home the curriculum is amazing! Both my daughters knew their colors Spanish and alphabet by the time they made it to the three year old room! I would not take my child anywhere else and I can see why there is always a waiting list. I have been at Peggy's for years and can't imagine any negative reviews. I believe there is always two sides to every story and there is the truth. To me words are just words. Actions are what tell the story.Which is why Peggy's is one of the top daycares in this area... they have proven to be the best! I have been at Peggy's and have not witness nor could I imagine to witness these allegations. I highly recommend this place and stand firm on my stance for Peggy's childcare.
